The use of cavitation modeling within the maritime industry area is in a crucial state. The advances in the computer power, the understanding of the numeric’s and cavitation phenomena do make possible to bring these kinds of simulations into the daily use. The general goal within the marine industry is to have a numerical tool which can predict the accurate behavior of cavitating flow both in design stage and for problem solving situations. In this presentation results will be shown of cavitating flow obtained with STAR-CD, for a two-dimensional case (NACA 0015 profile) and for a three-...

An introduction to batteries is provided, including an overview of the commercial value of batteries sold by chemistry. Opportunities for battery simulation in various markets (automotive, consumer, industrial, etc.) are presented, along with examples of the STAR-CCM+ BSM module and Battery Design Studio.

Due to increasingly stringent emissions requirements, 3D CFD has been used extensively at Ford for the development of exhaust and after treatment systems, for example to assess the catalyst utilization. In order to maintain the quality of the analysis which could be carried out by CAE teams inside and outside the company, we have developed a unique CAE procedure which standardizes the ways to perform the analysis, post-processing and presentation. This presentation describes how we upgraded this procedure from STAR-CD to STAR-CCM+ standard.

The number of automotive engineers using STAR-CCM+ for vehicle simulation has been growing rapidly. A wide range of applications are being used in the automotive industry, from vehicle aerodynamics, passenger thermal comfort, to HVAC and component analyses. Each year, new features or improved, more efficient processes are introduced that help our clients. This presentation will look into some of the new features for STAR-CCM+ and how these features are being used productively in industry. It includes an overview of the current gains in turn-around time using coupled solver for aerodynamics,...

Increasing the efficiency for future steam cycle power plants is of significant importance for the reduction of their CO2 emissions. Today’s best steam cycle power plants have a net plant efficiency of 46% while the average efficiency value for such power plants worldwide is still around 30%. Consequently, there exists a great potential for a reduction in CO2 emissions by replacing old power stations with new ones. Yet, a greater potential can be achieved if even higher efficiencies are obtained. In order to push the efficiency of stem power plants significantly over the 50% mark, further...
